I make smoothies for my daughter very often. She doesn't have a hugely sweet tooth and is happy for me to throw a frozen banana in with some fresh strawberries. I might add a bit of milk or even yogurt sometimes. If strawberries aren't in season I'll use a fresh banana and frozen strawberries. I find that having one frozen element makes the mix very creamy like ice cream.0

Spinach (2 handfuls fresh)
1 banana
1 C raspberries
1tsp. ground flax
1/2-1c. blueberries
1c. silk unsweetened (regular/almond) I prefer almond
splenda-optional
put ingredients in as isted. I use all items fresh, and after everything os blended on HIGH until juicey, then I add 1 tray of ice cubes. If it is too thick for your blender add some water or soy milk.
Trust me this good and if you put it in a Styrofoam cup like they have at the stores, but with a lid. Kids will drink it up as a sweet drink. They (kids) donot want it when they see the color green (lol).0 -
I like making my own smoothies , i usually just add what ever fruit i have at home but most of the time i have a strawberry and banana smoothie, i use fat free greek yoghurt and it tastes really good and healthy, i find adding ice cubes makes it runny so to make it cold i put it in the fridge for a while and then its nice and cold
i also make watermelon , grapes , strawberries and use fat free greek yoghurt, just add a little watermelon as it makes it really runny, unless you prefer it like that but i usually prefer my smoothies to be fairly thick,0 -
Frozen fruit works really well too. If I catch a sale at the market. I bring it home, wash and dry it, cut it up and freeze it first on a cookie sheet flat. Then I pop it into freezer bags. When I'm ready to make a smoothie I pull some out and put in some greek fat free yogurt, flax seed, the fruit, wheat germ, and spinach. Voila!0

Hi, here's my go-to smoothie!
1 C Blue Diamond Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 Frozen Banana
About 5 whole frozen strawberries
A handful of frozen spinach
1 Tbsp creamy peanut butter
The peanut butter definitely adds a good amount of calories, but it makes the smoothie extra creamy, and totally worth it0 -
I use the frozen bags of fruit you can get at walmart. It's pineapple, peach, strawberry mango. I use about a cup of fruit out of the bag and toss the rest back in the freezer. Let that sit out to thaw for a few minutes. To the blender i add about a half cup or so (I dont measure) of unflavored yogurt, and a big splash of orange juice or my favorite is Dole pineapple/orange juice. Blend it all together and add additional juice if you want it more or less liquid. I usually sweeten it with a tiny touch of Stevia because I dont like adding additional sugar, but its really pretty good without any additional sweetener. Sometimes I throw in a handfull of frozen blueberries as well. My husband likes it when I add bananas to his, but I think that makes the whole thing taste like bananas so I dont add them to mine.0

My favorite smoothie recipe (note: this is based on a low-carb, high-fat diet so if you are looking to count calories it may not be for you). With that said, I find most smoothie recipes are based on fruit juice and therefore too high in sugar for my liking.
2 - 3 tbsp almond butter
~ 1/4 coconut milk
big handful of baby spinach leaves
~ 1/2 cup of frozen berries or other fruit
top with milk (dairy or other, such as almond) until desired consistency is reached.
This makes about 3 eight oz servings.
It's a refreshing breakfast on a hot, summer morning and is why I prefer to "drink" my calories sometimes.0 -
This is for when you want a chocolate hit:
!/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
one banana
6 ice cube
optional..a tiny bit of maple syrup
Blend0 -
I don't understand why people want to drink their calories instead of chewing.
I also prefer to chew; if nothing else, makes me feel fuller. But to each their own. One day I'm not gonna not feel hungry after smoothies too. One day0 -
2 cups kale
2 cups baby spinach
3 carrots
1 cucumber
1 apple or pear
1/2 cup of almond milk
Blend0 -

Strawberry, banana, mango smoothie
1 banana
1 cup strawberries
2 mangos
1 cup ice
Serves 4. Very delicious & refreshing.
Ps. The serves 4 is normal regular cups, if you use the big tall glasses then it would only serve 2. But I find it very filling in a single serving.0 -
My fav: 1 cup green machine naked juice, 1/2 cup blueberries, 1/2 cup kale, 1/2 cup raw chickpeas (just soak them overnight)... blend with 4 ice cubes... YUMMY!!0
